Bernards Township includes the communities of Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner and Lyons.
Bernard's history is still evident in many parts of the township. The Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church is a fine example of the Greek Revival Style and its exterior has been changed very little since its construction in 1839.
The Coffee House on North Maple, constructed in 1804, is an example of a New Jersey frame farm house. It served as a residence and a crossroads tavern, and was a center of activity and entertainment for the local farms and communities in the early 19th century.
And, the Lyons Station, a one-story Tudor Revival-style structure built in 1931, was designed by noted architect, D.T. Mack.
Today, Bernards Township is charactorized by a recently coined word "rurban". New office development has turned the area into a major employment center. While substantial residential development has reduced open space, relatively low densities and clustered designs have left large tracts of woodlands and wetlands untouched.
